MATRIX TRANSFORMATIONS OF STATISTICAL CORES OF COMPLEX SEQUENCES (Q4949622)

The Knopp core of a sequence \(x=\{x_k\}_{k\geq 1}\) of complex numbers is defined as \[ K\text{-core} \{x\} : = \bigcap_{n\geq 1} C_n(x), \] where \(C_n(x)\) is the closed convex hull of \(\{x_k\}_{k\geq n}\). The statistical core of \(x\) was defined by \textit{J. A. Fridy} and \textit{C. Orhan} [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 208, No. 2, 520-527 (1997; Zbl 0872.40001)] as \[ \text{st-core} \{x\} : = \bigcap_{H\in \mathcal{H}(x)} H, \] where \(\mathcal{H}(x)\) is the family of all closed half-planes \(H\) such that the asymptotic density of the set \(\{k\geq 1\mid x_k\in H\}\) is \(1\). In this paper necessary and sufficient conditions for a summability matrix \(A\) are given to yield \(\text{st-core} \{Ax\} \subseteq \text{st-core} \{x\}\), where \(x\) is a bounded sequence.
